Day 617

Another weekend winds down. I don’t think about it consciously all that much but it is really nice to feel more or less the -same- for a whole weekend. No more up-and-down hungover/not hung over/sober/drunk roller coaster. Feeling good first thing in the morning is something I take completely for granted now and that’s a huge change for the good.

I write this in part because last night I -did- wake up at three-something...not hungover and thirsty with pounding heart and aching head but hungry. Very atypical. I suspect it was a combination of stress, eating too much junk food and being around smokers but in any case I had a muffin and went back to bed and woke up feeling the same as any other day which is not how up-at-three used to be.

Forgot to mention yesterday that I decided I was due for another treat so I ordered some fancy Hawaiian chocolate. I still have a tiny nugget from the last Hawaiian chocolate left which can now be a special indulgence for the short term since More is coming. I’ve also been very happy with my Day 600/20 month house slippers - they feel great.

We have two groceries in town and I usually go to the one with the good meat and discount on gasoline but today I went to the other one for everything -but- the meat and had a far better experience even though I had to make a second trip for meat. I think I’ll do that again next week. Not sure why I haven’t done it before, actually...I guess it’s another example of getting stuck in a rut and not breaking the cycle. In any case I got all the things needed for the week with far less aggravation than last week so I’m happy.

But now it’s bedtime.
